Excellent! A merger on the 'left' (using the term loosely, of course) would be no more successful than the merger on the right between the old PCs and Reform. We now have a Conservative party which is too badly split to come up with a common program, and which has lost a good chunk of the former PC voters. The only solution is proportional representation, and that will happen when everybody finally accepts the obvious - the two-party system is dead and buried for ever.

I like / love the analysis.. & stark / fresh essential bluntness of ‘stopping the CPC’

This country called Canada Does Not Deserve Poilievre Inc and he certainly Does Not Deserve

a damn thing but a historic disgrace. The Abject Arrogant Liar & WouldBe Emperor

I pitched a variation myself on how to prevent such a possibility via a 5 part Twitter thread

if you haven’t seen it.. it was a ‘thought starter’ desperate for some Love & Refinement

Or in other words - some of it may be useful.. can paste it into a comment here..

or better - could include a Twitter link here. It addresses the flaw of ‘Party Whips’

which disgust me & is an insult to Ridings & their Voters in my view

FYI - it’s well known that I DETEST ‘polls’ & why they appall me ethically

You get an Exemption because your ‘polls’ are anchored in Actual Journalism

and drill into Riding Reality - this post exemplifies your approach & hard work

PS.. speaking of APPALLING .. how bout the most recent Video Excretion by Poilievre ?

I could use your appraisal of Carleton Eligible Voters

plus your WAG - Wild Ass Guess - re Why Pierre4PM is avoiding Ottawa

& especially Carlton so far, for any Rallies

As well as what Their Strategy May Be in the near or distant future

Thanks regardless !

A non aggression pact covering 30~40 well chosen seats,would guarantee Liberal governments for some time. The degree of post election collaboration would be interesting. Something like an annual budget item/value perhaps.

I don’t understand why we even have a federal NDP, they take votes from the left and leave majorities for conservatives. They go bankrupt and can’t even pay the provincial NDP like they are supposed to. Lots of us NDP voters see Singh as more of a conservative. If anyone followed him on Twitter you’d have seen that. I don’t have much use for many of these federal NDPers. Two of them are as bad as Pierre, I stopped following them bc they were going too far. Too join Pierre on that nothing burger WE scam he created and some NDP jumped with Pierre, that was it for me. NDP has never been in federally. If they don’t join then maybe back out one election. Singh lost lots of us voters on Twitter when he spoke like the conservatives. If parties can’t team together at least once then there’s too much immaturity going on. They need to do what’s better for the people and I don’t see that in these federal NDPers. I’m disappointed in them. I think after Singh spoke badly on Twitter he lost most of us anyways 🤷‍♀️ already

This one could have used a proof read. And a few less “for the birds.” Great analysis though.
